Re: Feature Requests |
I'm not talking about the date it was added to the archive but the date of the show, since that's how most people are probably trying to search the shows. Descending or ascending doesn't really matter, I guess, order is the key ingredient here.

Re: Feature Requests |
There's a "sort by date" option on the righthand side when you get the initial results page, along with a "sort by date added" option. Most recent dates come first in either sorting method.
"sort by date added" -- most recent first is probably best order. As you say, what most who use this option want is to see what's newly available.
"sort by date (of event)" -- at least when considering the LMA as an
Archive, normal chronological order, from January to December, would seem more intuitive and comfortable across all archives, not just music.
But best of all, why not give people a choice?
Say click once on "sort by date" and you get the default order, click again and it reverses. Eventually users could even set a personal preference.
